'RUN FOR CHANGE' an event which was organized by REB on 16
June 2013, in the heart of the city, Husain Sagar saw hundreds of enthusiast
participants from various walks of life taking part in the run, demonstrating
solidarity among the residents and a burning desire for a change, in whatever way
they can in order to make this city a better place to live.
As we are known for incepting brilliant & innovative ideas, we have conceived
an event plan which will show case different savings and Investment schemes which
are on offer by various financial institutions. In the wake of the present economic
scenario and as a responsible media house, we feel that every individual should be
cognizant about various investment options which are presently available in the
market.
Various ancient postulations such as geomancy and its extrapolated versions
like vastu shastra or feng shui have more or less laid emphasis on the power of earth
and in turn coined a series rules and regulations pertinent to harmonious living in all
aspects. The land beneath our dwellings has got a combination of positive and
negative forces which deeply influence the harmony and fate of the dwellers. We
have enhanced this concept further in a form of a cover story featured in this edition.

THE POWER
OF EARTH
In this vast and never ending universe, it is only
the earth where life exists. The cosmological
positioning of our planet in the space time augmented
various biological processes which lead to the origin of life. There are
zillions of celestial objects in the universe but none (so far now) of
them could sustain any form of life due to various scientific factors
which is beyond the perception of human thought process. The
creator of this Universe, or the almighty, has been kind enough and
bestowed earth with his most supreme blessing that is, the creation
and sustainability of life in all forms. It is only the earth which does so
and it is no wonder that we call her as 'mother earth'. Creation of life
is considered as the most powerful act in this universe and this sheer
power of the planet earth can be felt by every living creature. The
ancient world got to know about this bare fact of nature long ago and
postulated a series of doctrines which envisages the qualities of this
planet and constituents like water, air and fire. These principles
manifested the 'mother earth' to be worshiped by all means, so that
the progeny never forgets the greatness of this planet and the act of
kindness which is showered on us.
It is more than evident that the almighty has bestowed some
empirical powers to this planet and the human race can harness this
vast endless metaphysical force to harmonize their lives by
optimizing the flow of positive energy into their body and most
importantly to their dwellings or living spaces. Various ancient
postulations such as geomancy and its extrapolated versions like
vastu shastra or feng shui have more or less laid
emphasis on this fact and coined a series rules and
regulations pertinent to well living in all
aspects. As a part of earth, the land
beneath our dwellings has got a
combination of positive and negative
evil forces which deeply influence the
harmony and fate of the dwellers.
There are various logical and
scientific means by which one can
explain these phenomenons. The
magnetic alignment of the earth,
moon and sun also plays an important
role in impeding the evil forces
associated with any patch of land.
The man kind has always experienced the
power of earth in various forms. Its serene tectonic

forces have nurtured the living things to
survive and multiply from the epoch of
formation of life on this planet. Since the ancient
times scholars were very much attracted to postulate
principles encentring mother earth and its inherent power which she
possess which in due course of time had taken a shape of study which
is termed as geomancy. The geomancy can cover any spiritual,
metaphysical, or pseudoscientific practice that is related to the Earth.
In recent times the term has been applied to a wide range of other
occult and fringe activities. In the 19th century, Christian
missionaries in China translated feng shui as "geomancy" due to their
observations of local shamans and priests manipulating the flow and
direction of energy based on aesthetics, location, and position of
objects and buildings. Although it stems from a distinct tradition, the
term "geomancy" now commonly includes feng shui. Similarly, the
introduction of a similar Indian system of aesthetics and positioning
to harmonize the local energies, vastu shastra, has come under the
name "geomancy". The much acclaimed vastu shastra which is widely
followed in our country has earth and its elements playing a major
role in the postulations.
Role of earth in vastu shastra
Vastu is a logical explanation of scientific truths and facts. The
Vastu Principles are related with the properties (Natural Energies) of
our Mother Earth. It simply says that the sources of energies are to be
open and the flow of energies is not to be disturbed. Vastu Shastra
prescribes desirable characteristics for sites and
buildings based on flow of energy ('Prana' in
Sanskrit). Many of the rules are attributed to
cosmological considerations; the Sun's
path, the rotation of the Earth, magnetic
field, etc. The morning Sun is considered
especially beneficial and purifying and
hence the East is a treasured direction.
Vastu believes that there are
essentially two types of forces, which
are equal and opposite in nature. The
interaction of these two forces is
cosmic ordained and produces a third
type of force, which is called 'Bio-Force' or
'Prana', needed for life to exist. One type of
force is subtle and fine. The other is dark and
dense. We, for understanding this subject, can call

the first one as 'positive' and the other as 'negative'. 'Prana' is
liberated by the interaction of these forces. Over the surface of the
globe, these forces continuously interact, releasing bio-energy. When
a structure is built over the surface of the Earth, it comes in the way of
a natural interaction. Both the forces enter the structure where the
interaction continues. However, the
intensity of forces that enter the
structure need not be the same.
Depending on various factors like
levels, water bodies, door
placement etc., either the positive
or the negative can have stronger
presence.
If the structure is designed in a
manner that the positive forces
override the negative forces then
there is a beneficial release of bioenergy, which helps all the inmates
to be healthy. Even after such
reaction with the negative forces, a
positive cosmic surplus is always
present in such a structure, which is
the 'Supreme Being Himself'. In such an atmosphere, life is smooth
and happy with everything in life coming your way without any great
struggle. It is a happy and healthy life for all the inhabitants.
If on the other hand the structure is built in such a way that the
negative forces override the positive then you have a weak bioenergy field which manifests as diseases in the occupants. The over
bearing negative field makes your actions, efforts, thinking negative
so that ultimately the whole life is ruined.

Depending on various factors like
levels, water bodies, door placement
etc., either the positive or the negative
can have stronger presence.
The science of Vastu guides you about the rules you have to follow
so that the structure has a positive atmosphere.Vastu Shastra is an
ancient doctrine which is based upon two important scientific facts:
1. Magnetic Property of the Earth and the gravitational and magnetic
forces created by the materials inside the Earth.
2. Rotation of the Earth on its axis, and the centrifugal and other
forces created by its movements.
Magnetic Property of the Earth: Our Mother Earth was created
from the minerals and dust from the lava of Sun 4.54 million years
ago. Due to the large content of iron particles present in the form of
solid and molten state in our Earth, it has a magnificent magnetic
property. The North Pole emits the positive magnetic energy and the
South Pole performs the Negative part receiving this energy. Hence,
our Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field all over its mass.
If we break a small magnet into pieces, each part will get its own
North and South poles and start acting as an individual magnet.
Similarly, when the Earth is divided into small parts as an individual
property, every division will attain a magnetic field having its own
North and South Pole. As the buildings are constructed with the
materials containing iron particles as well, this magnetic effect is
further magnified. Vastu Shastra applies certain principles to gain
from this magnetic force.
Rotation of the Earth: The main logic behind almost all the rules
of Vastu Shastra depends on these principles: We are traveling along
with the Earth with all our belongings towards North-East direction
06

constantly at a speed of 1070 miles or 1670 kilometers per hour.
The forward direction is North-East due to the inclination of the
Earth. The division of the Earth, constructions buildings and
utilization of the buildings shall not be against this motion.
Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suppose we have to carry a large and heavy box in a bike:
If the box is placed in the
front side on the handle bar, it
will reduce our speed and
comfort as well restrict our
vision
If the box is kept on either left
or right side, our balance will
not be easy and fall down.
The only best option is to tie
the box in the backside in a
carrier, so that our travel is
very comfortable.
This is the theory applied in
the Vastu Rules.
Our Earth is rotating inclined
about 23.5 degrees towards
North-East direction and
rotates on its own axis without any rest since more than 4.54 billion
years and also rotates the Sun without any axles, bearings or motors.
The weight we keep in our place should not hinder its movement.
Therefore, Keep heavy weight in South-West and lower weight in
North-East corner.
Balance the South-East and North-West corners with medium
weight. A good example is loading a bullock cart, which runs on only
two wheels and without any ball bearings. The cart man balances the
cart by distributing the weight, so that pulling it is comfortable for the
bullocks. The Earth is rotating and rolling towards the North-East
direction, hence keeping heavy weight at that direction would strain
its moment. Vastu Shastra divides a place mainly into nine parts
aligning with the directions: North, East, South, West, North-East
Corner, South-East Corner, South-West Corner, North-West Corner
and the Center.
Movement of Earth: In order to understand the underlying
scientific aspects of Vastu Shastra, we take into consideration the
following principles:
Since the Earth spins from West to East and the North Pole is inclined
by 23.5Â°, the actual North point of the Earth is situated at North-East
and South point at South-West. The Cosmic Energy coming from
North-East provides positive energy to the structures whereas SouthWest gives rise to negative energy. Hence, efforts must be made to
conserve the positive energy coming from North-East and also to

arrest the flow of negative energy arising from the South-West. Thus,
by keeping the potential high at North-East and low in the SouthWest, we can ensure uninterrupted strong flow of positive energy in
each and every nook and corner of the structures. This can be
accomplished by keeping maximum open spaces and doors in North
and East of the plot and the least in the South and West. To keep the
level of positive energy high, the height of the building will have to be
kept low in the North-East, East and North side as compared to the
South-West, South and West Side. This stems the inward flow of
negative energy.
Magnetic flow between the poles: In order to maintain
uninterrupted flow in the Earth's magnetic field, it is essential that no
pillars are erected in the middle part of the building and the number
of the windows in the North should be double of that in the South,
thus ensuring maximum utilization of positive magnetic flow coming
from the North. Since Lord 'Kuber' is placed in the North it enhances
the mental development and one gets strength to take right decisions
and achieve prosperity.

Selection of land holds the key for your success
It has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a pious land
which is free from burial ground/cremation ground or any negative
actions such as a war or any other atrocity, will always help the
dwellers with its inherent positive energies making them happy and
prosperous throughout their life, where as an ill-fated land can cause a
serious damage to its dwellers, so it is imperative to check all the back
record/history before purchasing the land for constructing a house or
building. But it is found that most of the builders acquire land which
was once upon a time a graveyard / cremation ground or ill-fated land
at cheaper rates and subsequently develop the area only to fool
innocent property buyers, who generally does not have any clue of
what they are purchasing and end up buying a unsuspicious
flat/villa/plot which causes an irreversible damage to their career
and life. We strongly recommend the property buyers to verify and get
to know the history of the plot by interrogating the aged people
residing in the vicinity of the project or referring to the civic body, who
in turn can help you to get a detailed history of the land. If you find any

No dream seems to get fulfilled or plans
executed and life becomes treacherous
& hopeless. Most of the times due to
frustrations some of the members may
even undergo mental breakdown and
gradually loose the interest to live, in
extreme cases the evil forces compels
them for committing suicide.

The earth can make or break someone's dream
It may sound bizarre or weird, but the fact of the matter is that
every dwelling rests on a piece of land on earth and has a history of
activities which were conducted before someone built a house on
that patch of land. One should try to find out the chronicle of events
which took place at that site. It could so happen that the place was
used as a burial ground or as a cremation ground long ago, or
someone must have dumped dead bodies in that place, so that the
negative evil forces are prevalent in the vicinity and forbids any
harmonious living in that house or apartment built on that particular
patch of land. Generally it has been seen that the families residing on
these ill-fated lands does not prosper in any ways neither do they live
a harmonious & healthy life. The negative evil forces ruin the life of
each and every individual of the family. No dream seems to get
fulfilled or plans executed and life becomes treacherous & hopeless.
Most of the times due to frustrations some of the members may even
undergo mental breakdown and gradually loose the interest to live, in
extreme cases the evil forces compels them for committing suicide. In
such dire situations, residents turn to various pundits or baba's for
relief by performing some obscure rituals suggested by them, some
might even take the help of vastu pundits and make some changes in
their houses and lifestyles, but more than often it has been found that
the holy practices falls on its face rendering very little relief to the
dwellers vindicating the fact that mother earth can make or break
someone's dream.

The above said rules adhere to the
construction of borewells. Some people
construct wells or borewells in the very
corner of North-East, inclining towards the
house that means if a borewell is placed
under the roof of the house, the placement is
absolutely wrong. The North-Eastern part of
the entire site has to be considered, but not
that of the house alone for an ideal
placement of well or borewells.
